    Question Damn 4x4 isn't working

    220 volts on Engine block heater?

    Euro 220 is one hot and one neutral just like we have for 110V service. Only difference is its 220V between the hot leg and neutral. US 220 is 2-110 volt hots and no neutral. Friss should be able to find a standard 3/4"NPT pipe insert heater in euro 220V over there to repalace the one...

    What the h**l is going on here

    Respectfully Dave, there is PLENTY being done here. First off, you get what you pay for (which is $0 by the way). Don't expect impeccable stellar service from volunteer moderators. We have jobs and lives outside SDD. Second, don't complain every time someone pokes in. That is just wasteful...

    220 volts on Engine block heater?

    1. i would NOT run a transformer on a heating load like this element. you should be able to find a replacement heater to screw into the port that is euro 220V. the threading is 3/4" NPT which is us standard pipe thread. at the worst, you might be able to find a euro heater and adapt the pipe...
